"It was good to make it into the top ten again and to be on the fourth row
is better than I expected. But I am not really satisfied. I just couldn't
get the set-up right so I had some trouble with understeer and oversteer.
That meant the car was difficult to drive and I could not repeat the same
lap times that I did at the beginning of the session. Maybe there was
something strange happening with the wind on the track but that's the same
for everyone. We're in a very tight group of teams so we will have to push
hard for a result in the race."

"That's a disappointing result because I have been happy with the handling
of the car this weekend and I was able to push this afternoon. In Q2 we had
a good qualifying lap until turn nine. I braked in and suddenly I felt a
problem with the front right wheel. I couldn't finish the lap and I had to
give up and bring the car back. It's a shame because it was a good lap and I
think it would easily have been good enough to make the top ten. Instead
this result clearly means we have a difficult race ahead."

"That was a very shaky qualifying session after a weekend that had been
going smoothly so far. Timo in particular had been having a good weekend,
consistently running well with no set-up problems. He was fast and heading
for a top ten position. Unfortunately in the second run of Q2 we had a
problem with the front right wheel drive pegs that still has to be fully
analysed. He could make it back to the pits but he was definitely unable to
finish a quick lap. So we will have to investigate exactly what has happened
with him. Jarno did his usual great job - even if he only just made the top
ten after his second outing in Q2 did not go as expected. Still, I remain
confident that we are in a good position for the race. This is probably the
first time this season that the tyre choice is not straightforward so we
will see a mix of tyre strategies tomorrow."
